I'll generate the Django boilerplate code step by step, keeping it modular and easy to expand.
Let's start by setting up the Django project with the necessary apps and configurations. I'll
include the following:

1. Project Initialization (it_solutions/)


2. Core App (Homepage and static files)
3. Users App (Authentication system)
4. Services App (IT services offered)
5. Blog App (Company news and industry insights)
6. Portfolio App (Showcasing projects)
7. Contact App (Contact form with Google Maps integration)

I'll now generate the base project structure and configuration.

The base Django project structure is set up with necessary apps and a homepage. Next, I'll
generate code for each app (users, services, blog, portfolio, contact) with models, views, and
templates. Let me know if you want any specific customization.

The business will be titled Pyroclast. I'll ensure the name is reflected across the project,
including branding in templates and configurations. Now, I'll generate the code for the
remaining apps: users, services, blog, portfolio, and contact. Stay tuned!
